Gamified Exergaming Program in Primary School

23. juli 2026 oppdatert av: Agustín Aibar Almazán, University of Jaén

BEYOND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: INTEGRATING EXERGAMING, GAMIFICATION, AND COOPERATIVE LEARNING IMPROVES CHILDREN'S HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE, SLEEP QUALITY, AND PSYCHOSOCIAL FUNCTIONING

This study evaluates the effects of an 8-week gamified cooperative exergaming program implemented during regular physical education lessons in primary school children. Participants were assigned by classroom to either an experimental group, which completed "The Movement League" program integrating dance-based exergames, cooperative learning, and gamification, or a control group, which received conventional physical education. The study aims to determine whether this multicomponent intervention improves motivation toward physical education, increases habitual physical activity, and reduces sedentary behavior compared with standard physical education.

Våpen og intervensjoner

Deltakergruppe / Arm
Intervensjon / Behandling
Aktiv komparator: Conventional Physical Education
Participants received the school's standard physical education curriculum for 8 weeks (two 50-minute sessions per week), using conventional teaching methods and activities without exergames, gamification, or structured cooperative learning components.
Annen: Conventional Physical Education
Standard school physical education delivered over 8 weeks (two 50-minute sessions per week) using the regular curriculum and conventional teaching methods. Classes included traditional physical education activities without exergaming, gamification, or structured cooperative learning strategies.
Eksperimentell: Experimental: Gamified Cooperative Exergaming Program
Participants received an 8-week gamified cooperative exergaming program ("The Movement League") delivered during regular physical education lessons (two 50-minute sessions per week). The intervention integrated dance-based exergames, cooperative learning, gamification, and symbolic rewards to promote motivation, physical activity, and reduce sedentary behavior.
Atferdsmessig: Gamified Cooperative Exergaming Program
An 8-week behavioral intervention delivered during regular physical education lessons (two 50-minute sessions per week; 16 sessions in total). The program integrated dance-based exergaming, cooperative learning, gamification, and symbolic rewards within a structured pedagogical framework. Sessions included choreographed exergames, cooperative motor challenges, progressive narrative levels, and group-based goals designed to promote autonomous motivation toward physical education, increase habitual physical activity, and reduce sedentary behavior in primary school children.

Hva måler studien?

Primære resultatmål

Resultatmål
Tiltaksbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Health-Related Quality of Life
Tidsramme: Baseline and immediately after the 8-week intervention
Change in health-related quality of life measured using the KIDSCREEN-10 Index. The questionnaire assesses overall physical, psychological, and social well-being experienced during the previous week, with higher scores indicating better health-related quality of life and perceived well-being.
Baseline and immediately after the 8-week intervention
Sleep Quality
Tidsramme: Baseline and immediately after the 8-week intervention
Change in sleep quality measured using the Sleep Self Report (SSR). The questionnaire evaluates sleep duration, sleep onset difficulties, night awakenings, daytime sleepiness, sleep schedule regularity, and perceived sleep quality. Higher scores indicate greater sleep-related problems.
Baseline and immediately after the 8-week intervention
Psychosocial Functioning
Tidsramme: Baseline and immediately after the 8-week intervention
Change in psychosocial functioning measured using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), including emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity/inattention, peer relationship problems, prosocial behavior, and the total difficulties score.
Baseline and immediately after the 8-week intervention
